During that period, two Nigerian girls named Omotayo and Shola
were killed by their bosses in Saudi Arabia. This time, it seems one of
those girls, suffering similarly terrible working conditions needed to
escape.
According to Satellite Times, the
unnamed lady’s family thought she was in Europe, working. Instead, she
was stuck in Saudi Arabia, slaving away at the hands of a terrible boss.
She wanted to run away but was prevented by the contract she had signed
with the recruitment agencies in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia.
These agencies are also privy to the terrible treatment these girls are
subjected to. This unnamed girl also says that she was kept indoors all
day, so she would not run away.
She learned that the previous maid to her boss before her was killed
by her boss from excessive beating, maltreatment and improper feeding.
That maid was Omotayo, the girl who sent a picture of her battered self to her family members.
It
was then that something snapped in her, she knew only desperate
measures would suffice. What ensued was a display of fake madness to
make her boss was disinterested in her as possible.
She put on
tattered clothes, plastered her face with powder and started yelling
gibberish, including Yoruba incantations, which both shocked and amazed
her boss. She continued this for three days, through which she wasnt
fed, nor did she drink water.
On the second day, her boss placed a
call to the recruitment agency to query why she got an insane maid.
After no reasonable explanation was forthcoming, the boss had her put on
a plane, possibly deported — She survived.
According to Satellite Times, Omotayo had sent a picture of her battered self to her loved ones before she sadly passed away from the excessive battery. Shola was beaten and was not fed, she also passed away in sad circumstances.
They say extreme conditions trigger extreme measures. You remember
those wicked seniors in Secondary Boarding Schools you had to fake-faint
for so they would stop beating you? This is a modern representation of
one of those situations.
Extreme situations trigger desperate solutions.
